Description

[0001] The invention relates to a modular mounting system for forming a mounting arrangement for microphones.

[0002] Microphones are typically used at events such as trade fairs, concerts, and similar occasions. Often, microphones are not in constant use but must be readily accessible so they can be quickly deployed when needed, for example, to someone. When a microphone is no longer in use, it should be stored in an easily accessible location. Due to the use of numerous different microphones, it is crucial for the smooth running of events to store the microphones required for the event safely and clearly, for example, near a sound engineer's table, so that individual microphones can be quickly issued and retrieved as needed. A clear overview is necessary to reliably distinguish between the microphones, which are usually operated on different channels.It is also important to hold the microphones securely and separately from each other, even in confined spaces. This is particularly challenging with boom and lavalier microphones, where preventing them from becoming tangled or caught on each other is a problem.

[0003] The space available to a sound engineer is often limited. Furthermore, the space available for microphone setups can vary from event to event. Mounting options for microphone stands also frequently differ. Therefore, static, non-adjustable mounting or storage systems, such as cases, tables, or shelves, are disadvantageous, as they offer little or no flexibility to adapt to the specific requirements of the event, such as the number of microphones needed, the available space, and the mounting options.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a mounting system that allows for a space-saving and adaptable mounting of microphones in a simple manner.

[0005] This problem is solved by the subject matter that exhibits the features of the independent claim. The dependent claims relate to advantageous further developments.

[0006] The mounting system according to the invention is a modular mounting system for forming a mounting arrangement for microphones. The mounting system comprises at least a first mounting module and a second mounting module, wherein the first mounting module and the second mounting module are mechanically coupled to each other in the mounting arrangement. The first mounting module and the second mounting module each have a first mounting section and / or a second mounting section, wherein the first mounting section is configured to hold a handheld microphone, and wherein the second mounting section is configured to hold a lavalier microphone and / or a boom microphone.The first mounting module and the second mounting module each have a first side surface and a second side surface running parallel to the first side surface, wherein the second side surface is formed opposite the first side surface in a transverse direction, wherein a coupling structure is formed on the first side surface of the respective mounting module, wherein a feedback structure is formed on the second side surface of the respective mounting module, wherein the feedback structure is complementary to the coupling structure, such that in the mounting arrangement the feedback structure of the second mounting module and the coupling structure of the first mounting module are engaged with each other and interact positively in a vertical direction transverse, in particular perpendicular, to the transverse direction.

[0007] The modular design of the mounting system, consisting of at least one first and one second mounting module, allows for easy adaptation of the mounting arrangement to the specific site conditions and / or the number of microphone mounts required. Depending on the number of microphones to be mounted, more or fewer mounting modules can be used to create the mounting arrangement. The resulting mounting arrangement is more or less laterally extended, depending on the number of mounting modules used. Due to the interlocking and negative feedback structures of the laterally adjacent mounting modules, the mounting arrangement is mechanically coupled to one another, thus achieving high mechanical stability.The coupling and feedback structures engaged in the holding arrangement ensure the structural integrity of the holding arrangement even under mechanical stress, for example when removing or attaching microphones, because the holding modules support each other via the coupling and feedback structures.

[0008] A clip-on microphone can be, in particular, a lavalier microphone.

[0009] A boom microphone can be, in particular, a headset.

[0010] Holding the respective microphone in the respective holding section can be done mechanically, for example by hooking it in or inserting it into a receiving opening provided for this purpose in the holding section.

[0011] It is considered particularly advantageous if the transverse direction, when the holding arrangement is used as intended, runs in a horizontal direction. The vertical direction, when the holding arrangement is used as intended, corresponds in particular to a vertical direction.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting system includes at least one additional mounting module.

[0013] Preferably, the first mounting module and the second mounting module are identical or substantially identical in design.

[0014] Preferably, the first mounting module and the second mounting module each have a back wall running parallel to the transverse direction between the first side surface and the second side surface.

[0015] In an advantageous embodiment, the second retaining section is formed in the region of a front end of the respective retaining module, the front end extending from a leading edge of the first side surface to a leading edge of the second side surface. The leading edge of the first side surface projects or is recessed relative to the leading edge of the second side surface in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to both the transverse and vertical directions. In this respect, either the leading edge of the first side surface projects longitudinally relative to the leading edge of the second side surface, or the leading edge of the second side surface projects longitudinally relative to the leading edge of the first side surface. The second retaining section is therefore not perpendicular to the side surfaces but rather inclined or slanted in the plane defined by the transverse and longitudinal directions.This design allows for a particularly compact mounting arrangement in the transverse direction, while still providing a long second mounting section. Due to the angled front end, the extension of the second mounting section can be greater than the transverse extension of the mounting module itself. In other words, by providing an angled front end, a large extension of the second mounting section can be achieved with a small transverse extension of the mounting module. Because of the angled design of the second mounting section, when a boom microphone is attached to it, the boom of the microphone is preferably also positioned at an angle to the transverse direction, thus requiring less space in that direction.

[0016] Particularly in this context, it is considered especially advantageous if, in a top view, the outer contour of the respective mounting module is essentially rectangular, with the front end forming a first angle with the first side surface and a second angle with the second side surface, the first and second angles being of different magnitudes. Such a design has the advantage that a zigzag pattern can be achieved in the mounting arrangement in the area of ​​the second mounting sections of the mounting modules, thereby preventing mechanical contact between boom microphones held in the second mounting sections of adjacent mounting modules. Furthermore, this facilitates the insertion and removal of the boom microphones into and out of the mounting arrangement.from the second holding sections and the risk of entanglement of boom microphones suspended or held in adjacent holding modules was avoided.

[0017] Preferably, the difference between the first angle and the second angle is from 10° to 30°.

[0018] The square outer contour can certainly be designed in such a way that the edges or corners are rounded.

[0019] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the second holding section has a first, arc-shaped, frontally open through-hole extending vertically through the second holding section, and a second, arc-shaped, frontally open through-hole extending vertically through the second holding section. These two through-holes are jointly designed for attaching a curved support bracket of a boom microphone. This design has the advantage that a boom microphone can be held particularly stably and without tilting moment in the second holding section, thereby avoiding the risk of mechanical contact, entanglement, or snagging between boom microphones arranged in adjacent mounting modules.The open openings on the front side facilitate the insertion of the boom microphone into the second holding section, in particular the hanging of the boom microphone, especially the hanging of a curved support bracket of the boom microphone, from the front.

[0020] It is considered particularly advantageous if the second mounting section has a third through-hole, open at the front and extending vertically through the second mounting section, which is designed for attaching a lavalier microphone. The open through-hole facilitates the insertion of the lavalier microphone into the second mounting section, and in particular, the attachment of the lavalier microphone, from the front. Since the third through-hole is open at the front, a cable from the lavalier or boom microphone can be inserted into the third through-hole from the front.

[0021] It is considered particularly advantageous if the first mounting module and / or the second mounting module has a first side wall and a second side wall, wherein the first side wall has the first side surface and the second side wall has the second side surface.

[0022] It is considered advantageous if the extension of the first side wall decreases in the vertical direction and the extension of the second side wall decreases in the vertical direction towards a front end of the respective mounting module. Such a design has the advantage of providing sufficient mechanical stability in the rear area to stiffen both the mounting module itself and the mounting modules to each other within the mounting arrangement. By decreasing the extension of each side wall towards the front end, material and therefore weight can be saved. Furthermore, this facilitates access to the front area of ​​the mounting module for the user, particularly for inserting or removing one or more microphones from the respective mounting section.

[0023] In an advantageous embodiment, the first mounting module and / or the second mounting module are each monolithic. This allows the respective mounting module to be manufactured particularly easily and cost-effectively, for example, using an injection molding process or a 3D printing process.

[0024] It is considered particularly advantageous if the first mounting module and the second mounting module each have a base extending between the first and second side surfaces, the base comprising the first mounting section, and the base having a through-hole extending vertically through the base for inserting a handheld microphone. It is considered particularly advantageous if, during intended use of the mounting arrangement, the base extends in the horizontal plane.

[0025] It is considered particularly advantageous if the coupling structure and the feedback structure are designed to engage with each other along the transverse direction. This allows the holding arrangement to be manufactured very simply by interlocking the coupling and feedback structures in the transverse direction. This makes forming the holding arrangement very simple and intuitive, since the holding modules are interlocked in the same direction as they are to be arranged to form the holding arrangement – ​​namely, in the transverse direction.

[0026] It is considered particularly advantageous if the coupling structure and the feedback structure are designed in such a way that in the holding arrangement a section of the coupling structure of the first holding module engages a section of the feedback structure of the second holding module in the transverse direction.

[0027] Particularly in an embodiment with a locking clamp and counter-support in the rear area, it is considered advantageous if the coupling structure in the area of ​​a front end section facing away from the rear is designed such that, in the holding arrangement, this front end section engages a front end section of the counter-coupling structure in the transverse direction. Such a design achieves a locking connection at two longitudinally restricted areas of adjacent holding modules in the holding arrangement, thereby increasing the mechanical stability of the holding arrangement.

[0028] It is considered advantageous if the front end section of the coupling structure can be brought into and out of engagement with the front end section of the feedback structure by moving the mounting modules along the longitudinal direction.

[0029] The front end section of the coupling structure and / or the front end section of the feedback structure are preferably wedge-shaped, in particular such that the front end sections interact in the holding arrangement in such a way that the holding modules are pulled together in the transverse direction. This promotes full-surface contact of the side surfaces against each other in the holding arrangement. The wedge shape is preferably designed such that when the holding modules are moved along the longitudinal direction to engage the front end section and the front end section, the holding modules are pulled together in the transverse direction.For the purpose of particularly good stiffening and / or locking of the holding assembly, it is considered advantageous if a locking clamp and a counter-holder are attached to the rear wall, wherein the locking clamp has a clamping lever and a clamping element movable via the clamping lever, wherein in the holding assembly the clamping element attached to the first mounting module can be brought into engagement with the counter-holder attached to the second mounting module to clamp the first mounting module and the second mounting module along the transverse direction. Alternatively, conversely, it can also be provided that in the holding assembly the clamping element attached to the second mounting module can be brought into engagement with the counter-holder attached to the first mounting module to clamp the first mounting module and the second mounting module along the transverse direction.The use of the locking clamp(s) reliably prevents unwanted decoupling of the coupling structure from the feedback structure in adjacent mounting modules.

[0030] It is considered particularly advantageous if, by clamping the first mounting module to the second mounting module, the first and second side surfaces come into full contact with each other. Full contact of the first side surface of the mounting module with the second side surface of the adjacent mounting module has the advantage that, due to this full contact, tilting of the adjacent mounting modules relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the transverse direction, for example, vertically or longitudinally, can be avoided. Particularly when a large number of mounting modules are connected in series, for example, three or more mounting modules, to form the mounting arrangement, full contact of the side surfaces of adjacent mounting modules has proven to be especially advantageous in preventing gravity-induced deflection of the mounting arrangement.

[0031] It is considered particularly advantageous if the locking clamp and the counter-holder are designed in such a way that, when the first mounting module and the second mounting module are clamped in the transverse direction, an additional locking is achieved in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and perpendicular to the transverse direction, so that a displacement of the mounting modules against each other in the longitudinal direction is prevented.

[0032] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the locking clamp and the counter-holder are each arranged in a recess formed on the rear side of the back wall. By arranging the locking clamp and counter-holder in a single recess, the point of application of the locking clamp and the counter-holder is offset inwards relative to an outer edge of the respective side surface, thus preventing tilting moments during clamping. Furthermore, by arranging the counter-holder and the locking clamp in separate recesses, the counter-holder and the locking clamp are particularly well protected against external influences, thereby preventing unintentional opening of the locking clamp and / or damage to the locking clamp or the counter-holder.

[0033] It is considered particularly advantageous if the recesses are open opposite each other in the transverse direction. This allows the locking clamp of the respective mounting module to engage with the counter-holder of the adjacent mounting module particularly easily.

[0034] Another advantage of arranging the locking clamp and the counter-holder in the recess is that this allows the locking clamp and the counter-holder to be set back from a plane formed by the rear, thus enabling full contact of the rear of the respective mounting module with a mounting surface, for example a wall.

[0035] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the locking clamp and the counter-holder engaging with it form a toggle lever mechanism within the holding assembly. The use of a toggle lever mechanism has the advantage that it reliably prevents unintentional release of the engaging clamping elements and counter-holders. Therefore, the provision of a toggle lever mechanism ensures a particularly secure locking of the holding modules within the assembly. Furthermore, a toggle lever mechanism allows for the application of high forces, thereby achieving a high degree of rigidity between the holding modules within the assembly.

[0036] The material of the first mounting module and / or the second mounting module is preferably plastic.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the first mounting module and / or the second mounting module are provided with at least one recess, in which a screw-in nut is fastened. The mounting assembly can be easily fastened using the respective screw-in nut. For example, the mounting assembly can be fastened to a table edge using a clamp that has a bolt corresponding to the screw-in nut.

[0038] It is considered particularly advantageous if, in the mounting arrangement, the first side surface of the first mounting module and the second side surface of the second mounting module are in full contact with each other. As already explained, such a design prevents tilting of adjacent mounting modules relative to each other, which in turn has a beneficial effect on the overall stability of the mounting arrangement. This is especially advantageous if the mounting arrangement is attached to a supporting structure, for example, a wall or a table edge, only in the area of ​​some, and not all, of the mounting modules.

[0039] Preferably, the coupling structure is designed as a projection and the negative feedback structure as a rebate, or conversely, the negative feedback structure is designed as a projection and the coupling structure as a rebate.

[0040] It is quite conceivable that the coupling structure and the negative feedback structure are designed in the form of a tongue-and-groove connection.

[0041] It is considered particularly advantageous if the coupling structure is designed in a rib-like shape. The rib preferably runs in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to both the vertical and transverse directions. This provides good support in the vertical direction along the longitudinal axis. This prevents gravity-induced deflection of the mounting arrangement along the longitudinal direction. As a result, even relatively heavy handheld microphones can be securely held, especially suspended or inserted, even with thin materials.

[0042] Preferably, the first and second mounting modules are designed in such a way that the mounting arrangement can be formed without tools.

[0043] Preferably, the maximum extension of the first mounting module and / or the second mounting module in the transverse direction is between 5 cm and 15 cm.

[0044] Preferably, the maximum longitudinal extent of the first mounting module and / or the second mounting module is between 10 cm and 25 cm.

[0045] Preferably, the maximum vertical extension of the first mounting module and / or the second mounting module is between 5 cm and 15 cm.

[0046] The following figures explain the invention in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments, without being limited to these. They show: Figure 1 Mounting modules of a modular mounting system for forming a holding arrangement for microphones in a disconnected state in a perspective view, Figure 2 the mounting modules according to Figure 1in the holding arrangement in a bottom view according to arrow II in Fig. 3 Figure 3 shows the arrangement in a rear view according to arrow III in Fig. 2 Figure 4 shows the arrangement in a top view according to arrow IV in Fig. 3 , Figure 5 one of the mounting modules according to Figure 1 in a first perspective view, Figure 6 the mounting module according to Figure 5 in a second perspective view, Figure 7 the mounting module according to Figure 5 in a rear view, Figure 8 two mounting modules in a connected state in a sectional view, Figure 9 another embodiment of a mounting module in a first perspective view, Figure 10 the mounting module according to Figure 9 in a second perspective view, Figure 11 the mounting module according to Figure 9 in a top view, Figure 12 the mounting module according to Figure 9 in a bottom view.

[0047] The Figure 1Figure 1 shows a modular mounting system 1 for forming a mounting arrangement 2 for microphones. The mounting system 1 has four identically designed mounting modules 10, 20, 30, 40, wherein the mounting modules 10, 20, 30, 40 can be mechanically coupled to each other to form the mounting arrangement 2.

[0048] Holding arrangement 2 is in the Figures 2 to 4 shown in more detail. The mounting system 1 can certainly include further mounting modules 10, 20, 30, 40 or be extended by further mounting modules 10, 20, 30, 40.

[0049] The mounting modules 10, 20, 30, and 40 are identical and each has a first mounting section 11 and a second mounting section 12. The first mounting section 11 is designed to hold a handheld microphone. The first mounting section 11 is located in the area of ​​a base 402. When used as intended, the base 402 is horizontally oriented. In the area of ​​the mounting section 11, the base 402 has a through-opening 403 extending vertically through the base 402 in a vertical direction Z. This through-opening 403 is suitable for inserting a handheld microphone. When used as intended, the vertical direction Z runs in the vertical direction.

[0050] The second retaining section 12 is formed in the area of ​​an inclined front end 500 of the respective mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40. The second retaining section 12 is designed to hold a lavalier microphone and a boom microphone. For holding the boom microphone, the second retaining section 12 has a first, arc-shaped, front-opening through-hole 511 and a second, arc-shaped through-hole 512, also front-opening and extending vertically through the second retaining section 12. A curved support arm of the boom microphone can be hooked into these two arc-shaped retaining sections 12.

[0051] To hold the lavalier microphone, the second holding section 12 has a third through-opening 513, open at the front and extending through the second holding section 12 in the vertical direction Z. This third through-opening 513 is designed for attaching the lavalier microphone. The third through-opening 513 is located between the first through-opening 511 and the second through-opening 512.

[0052] Each mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40 has a first side wall 101 and a second side wall 201, wherein the first side wall 101 and the second side wall 201 are opposite each other in a transverse direction Y and run parallel to each other. The first side wall 101 has a first side surface 100. The second side wall 201 has a second side surface 200, wherein the second side surface 200 is opposite the first side surface 100 in the transverse direction Y and runs parallel to it. The first side surface 100 and the second side surface 200 face away from each other and thus form the outer surfaces of the mounting modules 10, 20, 30, 40.

[0053] A coupling structure 110 is formed on the first side surface 100 of each mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40. A feedback structure 210 is formed on the second side surface 200 of each mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40. The coupling structure 110 is designed as a web-shaped projection. The feedback structure 210 is complementary to the coupling structure 110, namely as a recess. The coupling structure 110 and the feedback structure 210 are thus designed as a tongue-and-groove connection.

[0054] The Figure 8 shows a sectional view of the first mounting module 10 and the second mounting module 20 in the mounting arrangement 2.

[0055] In the holding arrangement 2, the negative feedback structure 210 of the second holding module 20 and the coupling structure 110 of the first holding module 10 are engaged with each other and interact positively in the vertical direction Z perpendicular to the transverse direction Y.

[0056] The coupling structure 110 and the feedback structure 210 are designed such that in the holding arrangement 2, a wedge-shaped front end section 111 of the coupling structure 110 of the first holding module 10 engages behind a wedge-shaped front end section 211 of the feedback structure 210 of the second holding module 20 in the transverse direction Y. This is particularly evident from the sectional view of the Figure 8To engage the front end section 111 of the coupling structure 110 and the front end section 211 of the feedback structure 210, the mounting modules 10, 20 are moved along a longitudinal direction X in the transverse direction Y after the coupling structure 110 has been inserted into the feedback structure 210. The longitudinal direction X is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z and perpendicular to the transverse direction Y.

[0057] Due to the wedge shape of the front end section 111 of the coupling structure 110 and the wedge shape of the front end section 211 of the feedback structure 210, the mounting modules 10, 20 are pulled together in the transverse direction Y when moved along the longitudinal direction X. This results in full contact between the side surfaces 100, 200 in the mounting arrangement 2, as can be seen in particular from the Figure 8 can be seen from this.

[0058] The above statements regarding the interaction of the coupling structure 110 of the first mounting module 10 and the feedback structure 210 of the second mounting module 20 apply accordingly to the coupling structure 110 of the second mounting module 20 and the feedback structure 210 of the third mounting module 30 and the coupling structure 110 of the third mounting module 30 and the feedback structure 210 of the fourth mounting module 40.

[0059] Each mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40 has a rear wall 302 extending parallel to the transverse direction Y between the first side surface 100 and the second side surface 200, or between the first side wall 101 and the second side wall 201. The rear wall 302 has a greater wall thickness than the two side walls 101, 201. Four blind holes 304 are provided on one upper surface of the rear wall 302. These blind holes 304 are for receiving batteries. Furthermore, a receiving pocket 305 is formed on one front surface of the rear wall 302. This receiving pocket 305 is for receiving a pocket transmitter / receiver. The rear wall 302 also has a through-opening 307, which extends through the rear wall 302 in the longitudinal direction X, perpendicular to the vertical direction Z and perpendicular to the transverse direction Y.The mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40 can be screwed to a supporting structure, for example a wall, in the area of ​​the rear wall 302 via the through-opening 307.

[0060] A locking clamp 31 and a counter-holder 32 are attached to a rear surface 300 of the rear wall 302 facing away from the front. The locking clamp 31 and the counter-holder 32 are each screwed to the mounting modules 10, 20, 30, 40. The locking clamp 31 has a clamping lever 33 and a clamping element 34 in the form of a bracket, which is movable via the clamping lever 33. In the mounting arrangement 2, which is located in the Figures 2 to 4As shown, the clamping element 34 of the locking clamp 31, attached to the first mounting module 10, is engaged with the counter-holder 32, attached to the second mounting module 20. In the mounting arrangement 2, the clamping lever 33 is in a locking position and thus folded such that the first mounting module 10 and the second mounting module 20 are clamped together along the transverse direction Y by the interaction of the clamping element 34 with the counter-holder 32. The same applies to the second mounting module 20 and the third mounting module 30, as well as to the third mounting module 30 and the fourth mounting module 40.

[0061] In the holding arrangement 2, the locking clamps 31 together with the engaged counterholds 32 each form a toggle lever mechanism.

[0062] The locking clamps 31 and the counter-holders 32 are each arranged in a recess 306, these recesses 306 being formed on the rear side 300 of the rear wall 302. The recesses 306 are open opposite each other in the transverse direction Y.

[0063] An outer contour of the respective mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40 is essentially quadrilateral, but not rectangular, since not all of the four interior angles are 90°. As can be seen in particular in the views of the Figures 2 and 4As can be seen, the front end 500 of the respective mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40, which is opposite the rear wall 302 in the longitudinal direction X, does not run at right angles to the first side surface 100 and the second side surface 200, unlike the rear wall 302, but rather at an angle. In this case, the front end 500 forms a first angle W1 of approximately 120° with the first side surface 100 in a top view along the vertical direction Z. With the second side surface 200, the front end 500 forms a second angle W2 of approximately 60°.

[0064] The front end 500 extends from a front edge 501 of the first side surface 100 to a front edge 502 of the second side surface 200, wherein, due to the inclined course of the front end 500, the front edge 501 of the first side surface 100 is set back in the longitudinal direction X, which runs perpendicular to the transverse direction Y and perpendicular to the vertical direction Z, relative to the front edge 502 of the second side surface 200. This is particularly evident from the illustrations of the Figures 2, 4 as well as 8. This results in a zigzag-shaped course in the area of ​​the second support sections 12 in the top view along the vertical direction Z on the support arrangement 2.

[0065] The first side wall 101 and the second side wall 201 are designed such that the extension of the respective side wall 101, 201 in the vertical direction Z decreases towards the front end 500.

[0066] Each mounting module 10, 20, 30, 40 has a recess on the rear side 300 of the back wall 302 and on the underside of the base 402, with a screw-in nut 41 being attached in the respective recess.

[0067] The Figures 9 to 12 show a further embodiment of a mounting module 10, wherein this mounting module 10 is compatible with the mounting modules 10, 20, 30, 40, which are described in the Figure 1 are depicted. This is shown in the Figures 9 to 12 The mounting module 10 shown differs from the mounting modules 10, 20, 30, 40, which are shown in the Figure 1The differences are essentially illustrated by the number and shape of the blind holes 304 provided in the rear wall 302. In the further embodiment, the blind holes 304 are not circular but elongated, and the rear wall 302 has only two blind holes 304. These blind holes 304 can serve to accommodate batteries of a bodypack transmitter / receiver or to accommodate one or more batteries of the handheld microphone. Reference symbol list
